The programme has grown with it. A 10km joined the half marathon in 2016, the short fun run became a 5km from 2017, and in 2021 the festival went back onto the roads of Fremantle's city centre. A half marathon relay for teams of two or three was added in 2023, and 2026 is its fourth year.

In 2025 the results list 1,574 half marathon finishers, 855 in the 10km, 312 in the 5km and 78 relay teams. Every finisher at every distance gets a medal, and part of the proceeds goes to the festival's charity partner, Operation Sunshine.

Course Description

The Revo Fitness Fremantle Running Festival starts at Fremantle Oval on Parry Street, with the 5km, 10km and 21.1km courses all run on closed Fremantle streets. The organiser publishes GPX files and course maps for the 5km, 10km and 21.1km solo events, with distance markers every 5km. Road closures run along South Terrace, Market Street, Wray Avenue, Norfolk Street, Cantonment Street, Queen Victoria Street, William Street and Parry Street, so expect a mostly urban road course. The Half Marathon Relay is for teams of two or three: the first leg is 5km and the second and third legs are 8km each. The 300m run is a short kids-style event with a later start. All finishers receive a medal. Check the official course maps before race day for the exact route and relay changeover points.

Weather & What to Pack

Early November is spring in Western Australia. Fremantle typically sees mild to warm days of roughly 22-26°C, with overnight lows around 14-16°C, so the 6:15am starts are cool and pleasant. A sea breeze often builds from mid-morning, and the sun is strong by the time the 300m run starts at 9:15am. Wear light, breathable gear, bring a hat and sunscreen for after the race, and take on fluids regularly.
